Open Door Law. With the exception of Executive Sessions, “all meetings of the governing bodies of public agencies must be open at all times for the purpose of permitting members of the public to observe and record them.” Corresponding code: I.C. 5-14-1.5-3 The ODL requires public notice of the date, time, and place of any meetings, executive sessions, or of any re- scheduled or reconvened meeting at least 48 hours prior to the meeting, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. A public agency must post a notice of meetings at the principal ofice of the agency, and if no such ofice exists, at the place where the meeting is to be held.

The governing body may not take final action (i.e., vote) in an executive session but may make decisions in the executive session. The board can take oficial action in an Executive Session (for example, receive information, deliberate, etc.) but cannot take FINAL action in an Executive Session. So, any votes and so forth would need to take place in the open public meeting. The ODL sets out the specific matters about which a public agency can hold an executive session. These include instances like government strategy discussions with respect to collective bargaining and litigation, interviews of prospective employees, job performance evaluations, and the purchase or lease of property by the public agency.
